The following texts were exchanged between me and my neighbor/BFF on January 26th, at 8:52pm. My texts are green, hers are light gray:
Getting a sweet tooth craving late at night when you’ve already got your PJ’s on and don’t feel like going to the store: NOT GOOD.
Having a friend that will share brownie mix and organic eggs with you before she heads upstairs to tuck in her little one: PRICELESS!
Eating so much brownie batter you’re not even hungry for the actual brownies when they’re done cooling: TYPICAL.
Have you made anything sweet lately? If so, leave me a link! I’m “paper pregnant” and expect to have a few more late-night sweet tooth cravings this year.

Corrie
Making rice crispy treats and then dipping them in chocolate for the Super Bowl party we are hosting. Saw it on Pinterest.

Never wait for them to cool!!! They’re best hot right out of the oven and never over cook them. Leave them kind of gooey!!!! LOL

I love that you are having “paper pregnancy” cravings! That is awesome! I often have late night swwet tooth cravings and I always have lots of ingredients on hand to make but I am always out of just one thing, like eggs, oil or butter. My neighbors always help me out too! I love those kinds of neighbors! The most recent thing I have been craving is from a blog called Table for Two. Julie makes these awesome cranberry, white chocolate chip cookies! I tweek them a bit and add macadamia nuts also. 🙂 Try them the next time you have a craving!

I laughed out loud!! My neighbor and I call each other all the time for….just about anything!!! Sugar, chocolate, saws, ……. You name it we’ve loaned it to each other!!

This is hilarious! I’m for real pregnant, so I’m not supposed to eat anything with raw eggs (brownie batter, cookie dough…) and it’s killing me. I already have a list of “forbidden” foods to eat as soon as Baby gets here 😀

I just made some muffins last night!! (Only about 8 dozen!) It is so super easy AND quick!
15 oz can pumpkin
1 box cake mix
Mix together. Bake @ 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and then enjoy!
This recipe is all over the internet with different variations. I mostly use chocolate cake and add chocolate chips. This week-end we are going to make it with chocolate cake and peanut butter chips.
*TIP* The batter is very thick…after done mixing, I put the batter in a baggie and “pipe” it into the liners.

I just wanted to make sure that it is clear that you can use whatever flavor cake mix you choose. In the chocolate you can’t taste the pumpkin! I have heard that the spice cake with the pumpkin is a GOOD combo.

That is one good friend to have down the street! I have SUCH a sweet tooth: http://www.thechroniclesofhome.com/2012/08/desserts.html Hope you find something to get you through the next “paper pregnancy craving.” Love it!
Kathleen @Home Wasn't Built In A Day
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful neighborhood you live in! Like a movie set!

Too funny! Love the term paper pregnant.
Barbara
You just might be the cutest thing ever…and Kevin the best photographer (AND hubby). Someone would need to have a heart of stone not to fall in love with you both. I feel like a new Grandma again by following along with your precious paper pregnancy!

Those kind of neighbors/friends are the best! We have the same thing, our neighbors have turned into some of our closest friends. It’s such an amazing thing to find,
Claudia
My bestie Polly and I call this kinda thing “the girlfriend way” cause one of us is always happy to help out the other! I think it’s funny she had to bail you out with the eggs too!
This was a super cute post!
Paper pregs….Adorbes!
Chrissy Floyd
What a great neighbor! Here’s an easy, no-bake cookie recipe. It’s super yummy too!

I love it! I’m such a sucker for the batter that I rarely eat it when it’s finished too! I can hear my dad now, “you could die from eating the batter!” Psh. I’ll take my chances 😉
I just made some NUTELLA BAKLAVA this past week. Seriously. You’ll die/go to heaven/be reincarnated… something to that effect….

This is adorable. True friendship!

Funny. This post reminded me of my brother who used to live across the street from me and he would call and say “Do you have anything chocolate over there?” After searching the kitchen cupboards, I would say ” All I have is a can of chocolate frosting”. He would say “That will be fine. I will meet you in the middle of the road with a spoon”. My brother (and best friend) passed away in 2005 but I still keep a can of chocolate frosting in my kitchen cupboard just for him. The best brother EVER.

You’re going to have to be more explicit in these posts. The neighborhood is getting an “R” rating. LOL Cracked me up.
MJ @ 517 Creations
I just made this (with a little help from my 5-year-old son) to bring to a Superbowl party. Delicious!!
